it hurts worse for those of us who can't stand being around young children despite watching cartoons primarily meant for a younger audience.

You could always be a youth social worker or a primary school teacher

I don't like kids. but I'm a manchild.

Time to sell you your services as a babysitter.

Do you think preschools have high standards for teachers?

>>91984843
I understand. you just like normal innocent shows once in a while and not all the cynical pandering "adult" shows with the same tired dick jokes constantly.

My country is slowly getting quite good at it.

>>91984866
If I were a primary school teacher, I would want to let the kids do whatever they want and/or talk about cartoons/fun stuff, so probably not a good idea.

Besides, if I applied for a job that involves kids, I'd probably get accused of being a pedophile. My physical appearance, and my inability to communicate with adult bosses, doesn't help.

I suppose you didn't work on Brother of Jorel or Historietas Assombradas (para Crianças Malcriadas)

I hate babies and preschoolers. The kids I have the most chemistry with are the 7-11 range that cartoons are aimed at.

>>91984937
honestly the only "adult" cartoon airing currently that i actually like is bob's burgers. I tend to gravitate towards fantasy and adventure based shows and adult cartoons don't tend to take that kind of route.

Worked on Carrapatos&Catapultas, Meu Amigãozão - My Big Big Friend - a canceled project for Cartoon Network, and currently working for a Disney XD Cartoon, that is shaping to be quite great.

I know the guys that work on Jorel's Brother and Historietas tho.

It is actualy EASY as fuck to get into animation here if you live on the right places, because the demand for animators and the salary is way better than most places, and the comunity is pretty small, so everybody gets to know everybody.

>>91984749
My dream is to make a cartoon, but the fact I live in the UK pretty much destroys my chances of working for a major network.
I'll have to settle for a web series, which will probably only get a small following and most of that following will be adults.

>>91985082
that's weird.
I see a lot of kids shows that are really imaginative but sometimes feel slightly held back by network practices, and nearly every adult show I see is just "HEY LOIS! [FRRRRT]!"

I guess most people really are just sheep who watch what they're told to without question.

>>91984614
When I was a teenager, I mostly hung around 10 year olds.
I'm too old to do that now without being totally creepy, so I'm channelling my manchildishness into developing my own cartoon concept.

>>91985313
yeah. i think the best cartoon I've ever watched was avatar. This is why i tend to go more for anime. More adult story while still having the imagination and wander of kids shows.

>>91985376
As long as you don't make the parents angry, kids will obey you no matter what because they think anything adults say is right.

>>91984614
I think I would be a hit with kids on a personal level because I can enjoy the stuff they like more than your average adult, but I absolutely hate being around them. My brother is planning to have kids with his girlfriend and it makes me really depressed.

That's actually a fairly common trait of developmentally stunted adults, and a pretty universal requisite for pedophilia. It's basically the inability to move past something that psychologically chains you to your youth, thus you relate more to children than peers your age, and thus odd attractions develop that aren't inherently sexual, but inevitably becomes so due to a malnourished libido common in the developmentally stunted crossing over with the part of the brain that makes them feel like they belong with children.

I would advise you to seek help so you can become socialized. I've heard that getting a job as a waiter or in sales really kicks the "social anxiety" right out of most people"

I hate Disney for making comics/cartoons childish.

>>91986287
They were childish to begin with, don't listen to the fake history. Japan just made them adult.

>>91985254
You know that Gumball is made by European CN right?

There is also the studio behind Song of the Sea/Secret of Kells.

And also, look at this like The Reward: Tales of Aletrhion.

It is a nordic webserie, with a huge following, multiple comics, a soundtrack and an RPG. The only shame is that /co/ barely talks about it.

>>91985663
They're annoying and selfish and until they get around 8 it can be hard to understand a single word they say.
That and their parents don't like it when you say fuck around them.

same. pure comedy gets old, especially about nuclear families.

>>91986287
It was actualy Hannah Barbera fault.

Disney helped animation way more than messed up with this, and when they DO tried to get more experimental and mature, it ended up fucking up with them.

As someone in school for clinical psychology, you're a monster. I thought we were supposed to heal, prevent, and rehabilitate people, not set them up for failure/jail time.

>>91985693
That makes sense. As a result of having abusive parents (coupled with some smaller stuff), I wasn't given the same opportunities as most children, which left me developmentally stunted.

When I was older, I had unusual chemistry with kids, which I successfully suppressed. It wasn't until I started rewatching my childhood cartoons that I became consciously aware of it.

what's their obsession with princesses? it's got to be more than marketing. you'd think that excessively girly stuff would drive a lot of potential fans away.

>>91986338
what's your reasoning?

>>91986265
I have two theories:
1. You're a pedophile trying to suppress your sexual desire for children.
2. You're NOT a pedophile, but worried about being perceived as one.

>>91986350
I'm not saying becoming a cartoon creator in the UK is impossible, just a lot harder since the industry isn't as big and there aren't a lot of people who will get you in there.

They usually have a good balance.

>>91987372
Or, consider the following:

>that houses the TV you paid for
>that gets shows via cable, dish, etc. that you pay for
If you want to watch something not marketed towards adults but have everything I greentexted going for you, I'd say you're "adult" as you need to be.

Hi Kate

>>91984614
I don't have that problem since I hang around other childish adults.

>>91988440
Then they have bigger problems then whether they watch Grey's Anatomy or Sofia the First, like probably not having a job.

>>91988467
By not being a faggot in public... Duh

>>91986265
But they're so cute!

Saying that doesn't make me a paedophile. It's the biological reason why "cuteness" is a thing.

>>91990158
I've never been able to associate human kids with cuteness. Kitten, puppies, and other small animals, but not young humans.

>>91990611
Maybe you're the autistic one then? There's a reason many pre-k cartoons have animal main characters and plots focusing on animals. You ever see that (now) copypasta about why Sonic and autism go together strangely often?

>>91990611
There's something wrong with you then.

>>91990611
The reason the human brain invokes "cuteness" in the first place is to push you to protect and care for babies and children.

>>91990670
i don't frequent /co/ so i haven't.... i don't really spend much time outside /vp/ to be honest.
>>91990795
i'd rather the thing wrong with me be the inability to find babies cute over wanting to fuck babies.

>>91990910
I find children cute, but not babies, they're just annoying and messy.

I do find it cute when a 10 year old boy pees his pants on purpose in an attempt to be as gross as possible, but that's different.

>>91984614
>>91985693
The animation industry could use more people like that. Child protagonists in cartoons nowadays tend to act like teenagers, which isn't so bad in adult cartoons (at least there's an excuse), but very annoying in cartoons that are supposed to be aimed at children.
